Russell <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> 1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Mr. Russell, <br /> The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed your request for Lomments regarding <br /> wildlife impacts from the permitting of the Rafert Pit (Permit No. M-2004-052-CN01) at the following <br /> location: <br /> - SE '/4 Section 33, Township 8N, Range 43W. <br /> A site visit to the location was conducted and it has been determined that there will be no significant <br /> impacts to local wildlife species or wildlife habitats. No endangered wildlife species are known to <br /> inhabit that location. <br /> If during construction, wildlife species, dens or nests are encountered we recommend that you contact <br /> the local District Wildlife Manager or a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office as soon as possible to avoid <br /> the accidental take of that species. CPW also recommends that proper measures be taken to prevent <br /> the establishment and spread of noxious weeds during the life of the gravel mine. When the mine is no <br /> longer in use we recommend that you contact the local Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) <br /> field office for suggestions regarding seed mixes and proper re-vegetation methodologies. <br /> On behalf of CPW, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on these <br /> projects. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call District Wildlife Manager Josh <br /> Melby at (970) 630-4415. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Todd Schmidt <br /> Area Wildlife Manager - Area 3 <br /> Colorado Parks and Wildlife <br /> cc: Mark Leslie, Josh Melby <br /> of 0 <br /> c�9 <br /> Bob D.Broscheid,Director,Colorado Parks and Wildlife•Parks and Wildlife Commission:Robert W.Bray,Chair.Chris Castilian,Vice Chair i ye�:�o�i <br /> Jeanne Home,secretary•John Howard,Jr.•Bill Kane•Dale Pizel•James Pnbyl•James Vigil•Dean Wingfield•Michelle Zimmerman•Alex Zipp <br /> *r876% <br />
